How do you remove High Heat enamel paints?
O snap..
Just like the title says.. hah!
This enamel paint that I have used withstands heat up to 1200 F..
So i won't even try torching em, I used lighter fuels (similar to thinner. so..)
but this dam paint won't even chip.. 
Is theRE ANY way that I can remove the enamel paints on my exhaust tip?
The last thing I would want to do is take me off and give it to professionals..
Maybe I could sand em but it won't be really clean.. would it?
Help meh!

Buy a new part that is either (a) the color you want or (b) be darn sure before you paint it... 
Sorry to be an Ayhole - but it's just about impossible to get this stuff off... which, after all IS the idea behind the product in the first place... |

I know brake cleaner will crinkle the caliper paint and I believe that is high temp - might be worth a try.

Brake cleaner is what I would say too. It melted hi-temp paint off my calipers.--on purpose!
